AK TBI State Partnership Program

2021

The Overall Goal of this project is to increase capacity in Alaska to provide a continuum of care for individuals with TBI and their families across the lifespan with services which are culturally responsive, person-centered, comprehensive and coordinated. Objectives: 1) Facilitate cross-systems collaboration involving a variety of stakeholders to identify TBI service needs and barriers to independent living and person-centered care, and advise the State on overall systems planning; 2) Determine the current TBI prevalence in Alaska, as well as the current state of TBI services, including barriers to appropriate care; 3) Develop and facilitate implementation of an Annual State Plan for TBI; 4) Facilitate stakeholder engagement, with assistance from mentor state(s), in a process to inform the design and implementation of a TBI State Registry; and 5) Expand capacity to screen and identify Alaskans with TBI and provide evidence-based medical care.
